Addressing the actress’ unexpected decision to exit Mistresses when it was announced that production for Season 3 was moved from Los Angeles to Vancouver, Canada, Lee told TVLine that “We’re going to create a new character — we’re not going to replace her. We fully support [Alyssa’s] decision to stay here with her family. We’re sorry to see her go, but we’ve got some great plans for Mistresses.”

Happy that Savi won’t have a new face come summertime? Or would a recast have been preferable to the character’s absence altogether? Sound off in the comments!
